Day 9: Day trip to Colonia (Uruguay)

After getting up around seven am, we got ready to spend the day in Colonia, Uruguay. We took a ferry from Argentina that lasted about an hour and arrived to the beautiful coastal town of Colonia. Colonia is located on the other side of the Rio de La Plata and has a antique and small town feel.

We were able to spend the day exploring the town and buying souvenirs for loved one back home. Lunch was provided in a restaurant that had a live performance of many South American classics.

In the evening, we watched the sunset on the beach and had a new friend follow us all the way back to the ferry station (a local dog). Some of the girls met a local Argentinian girl while waiting in line for the ferry and we all became friends with her by the end of the ride.
